Pop superstar Harry Styles is reported to have grown close to another Victoria's Secret model following his break-up with long term girlfriend Olivia Wilde.
The 29-year-old singer whose hit single As It was spent 10 weeks at the top of the charts, split from the 39-year-old actress and filmmaker two months ago. Since then he has been linked to numerous models and celebrities. He is now being linked with Victoria's Secret "Angel" Candice Swanepoel, 34.
If confirmed, it will make the South African beauty the seventh model he has dated from a retail brand that specialises in glamorous bras, panties and lingerie. Harry and Candice first met in 2017 when he was asked to perform at a Victoria's Secret show in Shanghai.

The former One Direction star has during his career notched up a long history of romances with catwalk models.
"Candice is one of Victoria's Secret's most successful Angels and Harry would be a lucky man if he managed to woo her,' a source told The Sun: "Harry is one of the biggest music superstars in the world so it's not surprising supermodels are lining up to date him.
"He's got history with Victoria's Secret models and has been linked to six others who have all walked in their fashion show."
In 2013, he was linked to Cara Delevingne and briefly dated Kendall Jenner in 2014. A year later he began a relationship with Nadine Leopold but split shortly after, blaming their clashing work schedules for their break-up.
According to reports at the time he also dated Angels Sara Sampaio and New Zealander Georgia Fowler in the same year. Some people suggested that his hit song Kiwi was based on his relationship with Georgia.
In 2017, he dated a sixth "Angel", the French-American model and actress Camille Rowe, 33, for around a year. Fans claim that several songs on his Fine Line album are about her. There were also claims that the song Falling hinted that their split was possibly due to the fact that he may have cheated on her.
The song begins with the lyrics: "I'm in my bed and you're not here, and there's no one to blame but the drink in my wandering hands."
According to many reports, Candice Swanepoel has been publicly single since splitting from Brazilian male model Hermann Nicoli, 40, in 2018. They have two children together.
The pop singer's romances raised eyebrows recently amid claims he skipped the Met Gala on May 1 to avoid an awkward situation with ex-girlfriend Olivia Wilde and recent date Emily Ratajkowski. The Daily Mail reported that one of his friends said he had been invited to Anna Wintour's prestigious event but "graciously declined" after learning that Olivia and Emily, 31, were both attending.
"Knowing that both of them were definitely going, he avoided it like it was the bubonic plague," the friend reportedly said. "He was told by his team that they would take all necessary steps to ensure there was no awkward run-in with Olivia, but. . . he has no desire to have a face-to-face encounter with Olivia at this time."
It came after Harry was photographed passionately kissing Emily in a parking lot in Japan just four months after his split with Olivia.
But while the embrace was said to have left Olivia feeling "betrayed", neither woman showed any sign of tension at the Met Gala. The even headed to the same after-party at Zero Bond, an exclusive private membership club in New York.
However, their previously friendly relationship came under stress when Emily revealed in Vogue Spain magazine that she "feels bad" for Olivia for hooking up with her ex.
